“…Xenon is described as having many characteristics of an ideal anesthetic agent, offering many medical and environmental advantages over the nowadays used nitrous oxide [6]. The positive medical effects of xenon include cardiovascular stability, neuroprotection and favorable pharmacokinetics [7].…”

“…Xenon would be a useful replacement for nitrous oxide, with the advantage that xenon - being a natural component of the atmosphere - is not a greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide, on the contrary, is chemically synthesized and is 230 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide [65]. Furthermore, there are concerns regarding the possible toxic effects of nitrous oxide, particularly in pediatric anesthesia (for reviews see [66,67]).…”

In the past decade there has been a resurgence of interest in the clinical use of inert gases. In the present paper we review the use of inert gases as anesthetics and neuroprotectants, with particular attention to the clinical use of xenon. We discuss recent advances in understanding the molecular pharmacology of xenon and we highlight specific pharmacological targets that may mediate its actions as an anesthetic and neuroprotectant. We summarize recent in vitro and in vivo studies on the actions of helium and the other inert gases, and discuss their potential to be used as neuroprotective agents.
